It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

That said watching your own father invalidate and erase you while profiting on enabling rhetoric designed to see you harmed, killed and assaulted as a trans person then it's just a survival mechanism to protect herself.

Tbh the fact she's stepped away from an abusive, gaslighting, narcissist of a father to me shows insane strength just for breaking the parental abuse cycle those types of parents beat into you.

I think you're right.

No amount of riches in vague (and probably not really shared) proximity is worth having a narcissistic cryptofascist manchild constantly invalidating your existence.

Can't enjoy privilege if you're dead.

This isnt hyperbole either, most trans people I know have faced a moment where they could have been assaulted or killed and one small decision saved them.

aristocrats are willing to put up with a lot more shit from their parents than regular people in large part because they don't know what to do without the money and support structure so I am impressed that she walked away
